Root Phenotyping for Drought Tolerance: A Review (2018, background): “) crop has mainly two types of roots; seminal roots arising from the embryonic seed part and nodal roots arising from the basal part of the tiller [49].”
The role of root architectural traits in adaptation of wheat to water-limited environments. (2006, background): “), the desirable traits include the depth of rooting (Hurd 1974), root elongation rate (O’Brien 1979), root distribution at depth (Hurd 1968; O’Brien 1979; Manske and Vlek 2002), xylem vessel diameter (Richards and Passioura 1989), angle of seminal roots (Nakamoto and Oyanagi 1994), and root : shoot”
Breeding for increased nitrogen‐use efficiency: a review for wheat (T. aestivum L.) (2016, methodology): “Field phenotyping methods for roots in cereals were reviewed by Manske and Vlek (2002) and Polomski and Kuhn (2002), including the use of rhizotrons, mini-rhizotrons and assessments of root parameters from soil cores (root washing and root counts/image analysis).”
Root System Size Influences Water‐Nutrient Uptake and Nitrate Leaching Potential in Wheat (2010, background): “root length is found in the top 30 cm of soil layer, where nutrients are concentrated (Manske and Vlek 2002).”
